This afternoon, I sat down with my seed box and
inventoried my seed packets, to determine what seeds I need to add to my seed
collection, and I came up with a very nice list.With my list in hand, I pulled out my seed
catalogs……and started circling seeds I planned on ordering to replenish my seed
collection, in preparation for my spring garden.

Last year’s onions didn’t really amount to
much.I decided I really wanted some
nice onions to put away for use in the future, and needed to find a good company
to order from.I also wanted to receive
a little instruction on onion growing, since obviously I wasn’t doing something
right.So after reading a post made by a
friend, Texan…..I
asked her about her onions in an e-mail.

I learned a few things, and placed an order today from Texan’s source, Dixondale Farms.
I ordered one bunch (5 dozen) onion’s seeds; they should be here in a couple of
weeks.

I found a great deal on organic small snack size
carrots at the grocery store the other day.Picked up several bags, canned them, and added them to the pantry.

Bulldog Man went hunting with his friend at his
friend’s camp/deer lease and had a blast.There were several deer stands on this deer lease property, which was
over 300+ acres.

This was a holiday
shoot therefore; requiring a special license for an antlerless hunt. Bulldog Man brought home a deer.

Tonight, we will be processing SOME of the venison
for the freezer.If you’re squeamish
don’t look at the next picture.

A picture of our daughter, M…. came here to visit us from Dallas, with her dog, Oscar, just
before Christmas.Her boyfriend, MK, couldn’t make it.His mom was sick and was having medical
tests.

It was really nice to see M….. Bulldog Man got to see her with her boyfriend about 6 months
ago, when he was out of town on a job site.M is all grown up, lives on
her own, and has an amazing job.Her Dad
and I are proud of all of her accomplishments; as we are with both of our sons S, and Tank.

Our son, S,
his wife S+, and their kids celebrated
Christmas early since our S had to
work.He works out in the oil fields; long
days, comes home for a week to be with his family, and then he heads back out to
the oil fields.

Bulldog Man was able to
see both S and S+ when they came up from Texas on a long motorcycle ride.They were trying out their new motorcycle; at
the time, I was down at my Mom’s house, taking care of her.Hopefully, I’ll be able to see S, S+,
and our grandbabies soon.

Tank
has been enjoying his new job. He works nights, so we don’t see him that
much.He’s happy; he just received a
salary increase.

My sister, K sent
a beautiful Edible Arrangement of fruit to our house for Christmas.She knew we were having company, and
understood our daughter, M, is a
vegetarian.

The arrangement was
delicious and was a hit with everyone.Thank you Sis for the fruit arrangement, love you!

Oh um……I tried to get a picture of the arrangement
before everyone tackled it.I was a bit
late on getting the camera out…..sorry.Here’s a picture of what the arrangement looked like from Edible
Arrangements.
